O.V. Selyugin, J.-R. Cudell
TL;DR
This paper discusses the challenges in extracting hadron elastic scattering parameters at the LHC, emphasizing the importance of considering the saturation regime which could reveal new effects in small-t elastic scattering.
Contribution
It highlights the necessity of accounting for the saturation regime in analyzing elastic scattering data at the LHC, proposing a new perspective for understanding scattering amplitudes.
Findings
Saturation effects are significant at LHC energies.
Ignoring saturation can lead to incorrect parameter extraction.
New effects are expected in small-t elastic scattering due to saturation.
Abstract
The problems linked with the extraction of the basic parameters of the hadron elastic scattering amplitude at the LHC are explored. It is shown that one should take into account the saturation regime which will lead to new effects at the LHC.
